When using a public court don't forget to leave the court the way you found it. Keeping the court clean and safe is important for everyone that uses it. A personal injury on the court could result in a lawsuit and this would be bad for everyone involved. While a Los Angeles injury attorney could help you in your case it is still better to avoid the injury in the first place.

The City of Ravenswood , West Virginia has had a regulation size bocce court at Riverfront Park for a couple of years now.

The surface is a bit worn, and rough, mostly from the awesomely warm winter we had that afforded a significant amount of good weather for playing, and ample conditions for weeds to crop up. The city will maintenance the surface, i'm certain, as soon as they can get to it. They kept it in good condition last year. Its a small town, but they take great pride in the Riverfront Park. Just take a look at that beautiful backdrop, and the people are just as wonderful. While there is no direct court lighting, the new lighting project provides adequate ambient light for night play on those blistering July and August days, and the Veterans Memorial Shelter House is right beside the court,providing a great place for all day events, cookouts and tournaments.
